And an authoritative answer would be very nice...[/quote]But it has been answered many times if you search.If you have updated with all the default settings that you get when you installed the rc version, you already have the full version on your machine.

The likelyhood of of a mass of updates being needed to take you from rc to full is very small, and there could even be no packages to update; the rc is after all a "release candidate" and could turn out to be the final release.[/quote]

If this question has been answered, "many times", how about providing a link? We're not the only ones asking this question, after all.

And yes, "there could even be no packages to update" is precisely the point - they would only be Level 1 and Level 2 updates, so I don't know what this point proves.[/quote]

Most of the time people come to a forum to nag, but I would like to give you a compliment about the nice & clear interface and especially the new icons! I love them.

But ofsource it wouldn't be me if I haven't constructive criticism xDSo some icons in the main menu should have a color (because is too much gray, I know it's the default interface), because colors make it easy to separate different kind of functions for example Network, Computer, Shutdown, Sign out and Lock Monitor.And a second point should be still be the borders of the windows, where you can resize your windows. I must admit, this is probably a problem of Ubuntu, not Mint, but if Mint had fixed this bug it could be a super hit

Hi,I have download mint 10 and install on a Pentium 4 system.After all has finish,I am unable to set the screen resolution higher than 800x600,refresh rate and rotation are all unable to set. I have google for a lot of information but cannot found a workable solution to solve the problem. Would appreciate if someone can provide a step by step solution. Below are some information on what I have tried.

-Install ubuntu 10.10 on the system since Mint is base on ubuntu. Screen resolution problem also happen-Install Mint 9 previously and things are all working well.

Please provide all assist or I will have to downgrade to Mint 9 stay with it till the screen resolution is solve.

@Edgpaez My system is using built in graphic on Intel D845GBV board. No additional driver needed as check.My patience on Mint 10 is at the lowest point now with the problem I am facing with Mint 10 on the OEM PC.I install Mint 10 on the Dell Vostro 200 and it work well out of the box.Below is my system information.

Julia... wow! Thanks a bunch, as always it's the only OS I truly feel comfortable using, never have a gripe to moan about! It's just so easy to do everything and so easy on the eyes. Fantastic work yet again!

This is a perennial issue. Some people like thick borders because they are easier to grab; others hate them because they look "ugly". If you go to the Appearance pref, and choose "Customize", then click on the Window Border tab, and click on the various choices, you will see that some are thicker than others. If this meets your need, fine; if not, you may need to dive deeper, and modify the metacity-theme-1.xml that is associated with a given theme. Generally (but not always) these are in the /usr/share/themes/ directory:

For example, for the "Murrine" window borders, you need to be in /usr/share/themes/Murrine/metacity-1, where you will find the metacity-theme-1.xml file. Before editing this file, it's prudent to make a backup copy -- it's very easy to get lost on changes, and a backup will let you revert to the original version. This file belongs to root, so you need to use sudo to edit it: sudo gedit metacity-theme-1.xml
